I am looking to connect with sober living operators who can provide references and proof of running a successful sober living business in Los Angeles County, California. I currently manage properties throughout Los Angeles County, and occasionally come across properties that aren’t ideal for long-term standard rentals. Short-term rentals would be a solution, but due to strict short-term rental laws in rent-controlled areas of Los Angeles, options like Airbnb are typically not feasible.
At present, I have a $5 million property in Encino with two units that we cannot rent out short-term due to rent control regulations, and the numbers don’t work for a long-term rental either. I would like to offer my client alternative solutions, and sober living may be a viable option to make this property cash flow.
If you are a sober living operator in Los Angeles County or know someone I can connect with, please feel free to reach out!
Hey! @Casey Coffey It sounds like you’re exploring some creative options to maximize your property’s potential, which is great. Sober living can indeed be a solid alternative, especially in areas with strict short-term rental regulations.
If you’re looking for experienced operators in Los Angeles County, you might want to connect with Dr. Hunter Foote, he’s well-regarded in the sober living space and has a solid track record.
He is the founder of Vanderburgh Sober Living and The Vanderburgh Foundation, who spent over a decade building a platform that empowers independent owner-operators to open and manage structured sober living homes across eight states.
Best of luck with your property, and hopefully this points you in the right direction!

Hi Casey! I'm a MTR guy here in LA. Do you think mid term rentals could be a good option for your client? I'm happy to provide some analysis and numbers on the property. We manage 25 MTRs in and around LA.

@Casey Coffey We actually brought on a new member who is looking for a home in Long Beach. Let me know if you have something it might be of interest. She would be a great tenant and we can often offer corporate lease guarantees for our members.
